Ingredients

  • Cauliflower - 300 grams
  • Fresh salmon fillet - 100 grams
  • Fresh tuna fillet - 100 grams
  • Cucumber - 1 small
  • Carrot - 1 medium
  • Radish - 50 grams
  • Avocado - 1 small
  • Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Soy sauce (coconut aminos for Paleo) - 2 tablespoons
  • Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
  • Mirin (or a Paleo-friendly sweetener) - 1 tablespoon
  • Sea salt - to taste
  • Black sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon
  • Nori sheets - 1, cut into strips

Steps

  1. Start by making cauliflower rice: Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until it resembles rice grains. Steam or microwave for 5-7 minutes until tender. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the fish by slicing the salmon and tuna fillets into bite-sized cubes. Place them in a bowl.
  3. In a separate small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, and sesame oil. Pour the marinade over the fish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
  4. While the fish is marinating, julienne the cucumber and carrot, and thinly slice the radish. Cut the avocado into slices.
  5. Once the fish is marinated, assemble the dish: Place a generous portion of cauliflower rice in each serving bowl.
  6. Top the cauliflower rice with the marinated fish, and artfully arrange the cucumber, carrot, radish, and avocado slices on top.
  7. Sprinkle with sea salt, black sesame seeds, and add strips of nori for garnish.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Sakana no Chirashi!
